Pitching Match Up

Justin Verlander goes for the Astros tonight and he started Game 6 of the ALCS and pitched a complete game giving up one earned run on five hits in a 7-1 win over the New York Yankees. He was named the MVP of the ALCS, as the Astros won both of his starts where he went 16 innings, only allowed one earned run, struck out 21, and only gave up 10 hits. Houston has won all nine of his appearances, including eight starts, since coming over in a trade with the Detroit Tigers and in his four playoff appearances, including thee starts, this season he has given up four earned runs in 24 innings of work. While Verlander is a solid 11-5 in his career in the playoffs he is 0-3 with a less than stellar ERA of 7.20 in three World Series starts while with the Tigers.

Rich Hill gets the nod for the Dodgers in this Game 2 and his last start was in the NLCS where he went five innings and gave up one earned run on three hits in a 4-1 win over the Chicago Cubs. In this post-season he has two starts where he has totaled nine innings and given up three earned runs and in six career playoff starts he is 1-2 with an ERA of 3.96. This game will be Hill’s first career World Series start. Overall, the Dodgers have won Hill’s last five starts and have won his last four home starts.

Houston Astros vs. L.A. Dodgers Prediction

The Astros had won their last two games before falling to the Dodgers in the first game of the World Series. After beating the Boston Red Sox on the road to close out the ALDS, Houston has lost their last four road playoffs games. They scored 11 runs in the last two wins of the ALCS before only scoring one in the first game of this series. The Dodgers have won two in a row overall and they have only lost one game in the playoffs. Their pitching has been superb, as they only gave up eight runs in the five games in the NLCS and held the Astros to a single run last night. Verlander has been lights out in the playoffs going 4-0 with an ERA of only 1.46, but he has been less than stellar in his three career World Series starts. While Hill has not been lights out he has been solid in the post-season even though he has only two starts and lasted nine innings. Both will have good outings and this game will be like Game 1 in a low scoring affair, which the Dodgers will win and head to Houston with a 2-0 lead in the series.
